In reply to the discussion: Twitter feud between Joy Reid and Glenn Greenwald, challenge issed to Greenwald [View all]Hissyspit
(45,790 posts)As I posted down thread:
"SOMEONE ELSE called her an Obama operative on Twitter in the conversation the OP is referencing, but the OP left it implied that Greenwald did. Reid asked her question of Greenwald, about him supposedly not responding to questions about Snowden getting the Booz Allen job, and he responded with links to interviews showing he clearly did, in answer to her question. Her implication that Greenwald had not addressed the issue was false. That's all. There was no more Twitter conversation involving Greenwald as the OP implied. Then, she referenced being called an 'Obama operative,' which apparently comes from this earlier Twitter conversation where Greenwald does NOT call her an Obama operative, but, rather, makes an argument about automatic assumption of validity of journalists:

...and then someone else in the later Twitter thread called her that, repeating HER words.
(He may have called her an 'Obama operative' somewhere else, but I can't find any evidence of it. Those seem to be HER words. If you can find an incident where he did, please post it.)"
